My baby is 3!


On April 16th at 7:38 pm to be exact, Hadlie will turn 3. It doesn't seem possible! I think I'm in denial. Turning 3 is like going from baby to big girl over night. I always tell her "Never grow up. Just stay how you are." and every once in a while she asks me "Mom, can I grow up today?" LOL!
Hadlie has been so much fun to have around. She is non-stop laughs! There is never a dull moment with her around. When I was pregnant with her and found out that she was a girl, I thought "oh, how fun, another little Gracie." Boy was I wrong! They are like night and day in both looks and personality. Hadlie is incredibly strong willed, loud, rambunctious, moody, wild and crazy. I always joke that she is the boy I'll probably never have. She has a tendency to get in trouble. We are in the process of installing a new toilet right now because she flushed a glove down the toilet one day and the next day she flushed the lid to my hairspray and it is STUCK! Not to mention the "I didn't mean to" incident 2 posts ago. Among other things like coloring on everything, cutting up her clothes, destroying her bedroom every other day and then there's the never ending bedtime routine that usually takes about an hour. We've actually had to put a lock on her door and lock her in her own room. Child Abuse!!! This is all probaly normal kid stuff but it's all new to me. This is my first time experiencing it because Gracie was a little angel and never pulled any of the stuff Hadlie does.
She is my little ball of energy who is the funniest 2 (well 3) year old I have come across.(I know I'm partial though). Hadlie is super smart (and a smart a** too). She is soooo social and loves to talk to strangers and make new friends.(Kinda scary) She is so loveable always giving us hugs and kisses randomly telling us she loves us about 10 times a day. What a girl! I wouldn't trade her for anything. These are all the reasons we love her so much. She's got a personality all her own!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HADS!!!

I can't believe she is three! They grow up way too fast :( She is a doll. I've been tempted to call you to see if she can come over and play with me...I've been going through toddler/baby withdralls. Send her over anytime! I hope she has a great bday!

So is so cute!!!It is amazing how much they change from "baby" to "big girl" in such a short amount of time! Oh and the locking her in her room at night...we do the same thing, only we have outside locks on both bathrooms, laundry room and her own closet doors!! Gotta love those sassy girls! Happy Birthday Hadlie!

Bob is 3! I love the slide show. Especially the one of her with bingo's on her fingers. No kidding, she has more personality packed into that tiny little frame than any kid I've ever known. It's amazing to see that she's had that mischievous little grin since she was a baby. Happy Birthday Bob and You Stink!!!!:)

Oh Haley, I just love looking at pictures of your girls they are so cute. The stories of Hadlie remind me of my Tage, and if they are anything alike...watch out. Tage has kept us laughing but he has been a trial to me also (I guess all kids are in their different ways).
